    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I ran it for a while. It's dope. See also Cave-In for a usually worse effect at sorcery speed. e: this is assuming you plan on using this w/ Prowess, where the selection and speed of pyrokinesis far outweigh a control deck wanting to drop a planeswalker and wrath in the same turn, which imo...

    The Book Thread

    Lolita is sublime, and when it gets really boring at the end and you want to stop, remember that Humbert Humbert is an unreliable narrator. Pale Fire is his best work, though, I think.

    The Book Thread

    The best "metabook" is Nabokov's Pale Fire, which is nothing short of a literary masterpiece. One of the best things I've ever read and I return to it pretty regularly when I'm looking for another book to read on the bus.

    Card/Deck White Support Cards

    whoops, didn't see this! it's been okay. CMC 2 instead of power 2 (like 'llark or Alesha) hurts a bunch, but it's better than it looks. sacrifice decks like recurring a bunch of dudes (and can tap tokens to Convoke!), weenie decks get scaling wrath protection, i haven't tried it in Pod but i...

    General Baseless Speculation: Will Modern Masters be a good draft set?

    Jace the Mind Sculptor will never be unbanned in Modern, ever. Brainstorm is too powerful for the format, so 'brainstorm every turn except also a really hard to fight win condition' is totally out of the question imo also they just reprinted Wurmcoil in the C14 red deck so i don't think they'd...

    Yeah, I'll make a bunch of those cuts. Thassa is a great idea, thanks! I'm also trying to increase the number of 5+ toughness creatures; my problem lately has been that I tinker with the list while drunk and don't remember why I made those changes in the morning. I think maybe I'll swap the...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    Thank you for yr feedback! It's definitely valued, and certainly helpful. Hypergenesis probably should go, yeah. I wanted to support a Show&Tell style deck, but without the creature power, I don't think it gets there. It also benefited more from a previous version of the wishes package...

    Hey, babes! I updated the OP of this thread, since it's been a while. It seems like it's fashionable right now to announce that you have a 'version two' of your design, so I guess this is mine. I'm reproducing the new OP below, so you don't have to page back. SHARZAD: A Thousand And One Cube...
